Obituary reveals Georgia Tech fan's unfulfilled final wish

Robley Henson Tatum, a beloved father, grandfather and uncle known affectionately as “Daddy Scum,” died on Jan. 17, per an obituary posted on the website of The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Tatum loved his family, sports and good food. Per the obituary: “He loved his family, his neighbors, Georgia Tech, the Atlanta Braves, bowling (he was a great bowler), the Atlanta Journal/Constitution (where his dad had worked), Waffle House, Hickory House and the Picadilly Cafeteria, and Little Debbie.”

The obituary also includes a priceless line about Tatum’s allegiance to Georgia Tech, and the Yellow Jackets’ football program in particular. Well, sort of.

Reads the obituary:

“He didn’t get his final wish for Tech, which to see (football coach) Paul Johnson get fired, but hey, there’s still time.”

At the very least, Georgia Tech should go out and win the 2014 ACC championship to honor Tatum’s unfulfilled final request.
